Evans police subdue running suspect with Taser

EVANS — A 27-year-old woman is in custody after resisting arrest Wednesday afternoon, according to Evans police.

Evans police Cmdr. Dan Ranous said authorities received about 4 p.m. report of a woman with five warrants for her arrest in the area of the 1200 block of 32nd Street. The warrants were for failures to appear for bribery, drug and criminal impersonation charges.

When officers approached the woman, she lied about her name, Ranous said. After they tried detaining her, she resisted arrest and took off running. Ranous said authorities subdued her with a Taser.

Officers found more than 60 grams of meth packaged for sale and a large amount of money in the suspect's purse, Ranous said.

Authorities identified the suspect as Yvette Rodriguez. She's in custody at the Weld County Jail on charges for resisting arrest, as well as drug possession and distribution.
